Blurb For Lineage

Happy Friday all! I hope you have wonderful plans this weekend. We are heading up to Buena Vista for another round of hot springs, good friends and relaxing. I am so looking forward to it, I need to relax with all that's happened lately and then settle into cold weather and lots of writing.I thought since I wouldn't be around much that maybe I would leave you with something to read. I did manage to finish the blurb for Lineage - Book 2 of The Djenrye Chronicles which will be featured on the website and thought I would share. It will hopefully give you a feel for the book and I would relish any comments.I hope it will help you to look forward to reading it next year! Thanks for all your support and enjoy!

Lineage introduces
Delyn, the first Androne born in Djenrye, ten thousand years before Stevie’s
time.

His story begins eight
summers after Delyn and his family were moved from their hidden arbor community
of Elm Toch, to a village the Gods had erected especially for the new race—the
Andrones.

A handful of Androne’s
and their Wood Elf families live in the town situated between the cities of the
Djen. Mayza, the first female Androne, born two years after Delyn, is his only
friend. Delyn is now fully grown and over a foot taller than the Wood Elves, his
curiosity becomes an obsession. Why is he and the other Andrones different that
their elders and siblings? Why did the Gods create them? What was the purpose?

He decides to spy on
secret meetings between the God-Soldiers, who police the village, and the
Forefathers, a race of beings sent by the Gods to govern all of Djenrye. Mayza
warns him that to be caught would bring severe punishment—he could be beaten or
worse.

He doesn’t listen and
follows Brom, one of the Forefathers, to the meeting anyway. What he hears
creates more questions and strengthens his conviction to find answers.

The clandestine meeting
is only a preamble to a great gathering of all leaders. Djen, Mage, and the
Forefathers are called to Delyn’s village to discuss matters which concern the
Andrones and their role.

It does not go well for
Delyn and the others. Rounded up by the God-Soldiers, all Andrones, male and
female, are forced to go to Phraile Highlae by order of the Gods.

The first night of their journey the female
Andrones were secreted away while they slept. No one will tell Delyn where they have been
taken. Scared for Mayza, but unable to fight the God-Soldiers, he has no choice
but to continue on.

Once in the city he is
told he will be trained as a warrior of the Gods. Delyn befriends Claren, a
younger Androne from the village. As they begin their combat training, Delyn keeps
a solemn promise to himself. He would continue to spy on their leaders for
answers to their evolution and where the girls were being kept.

Several moon cycles
pass and Delyn decides to escape from Phraile Highlae. He must find Mayza and
rescue her, but the journey is short lived when he is caught. His punishment is
to be carried out in a place he never knew existed.

He finds himself in an
unknown hostile land, locked up like an animal, starved, and is forced to fight
for his life. He holds on to an escape plan from this terrible place, but the
abuse at the hands of his captors is changing him. His dream of freedom slips
away as he becomes what the Forefathers want—a cold, hard, calculating soldier—of
the Gods.

I hope that the blurb intrigues you and your ready to read it! Have a nice weekend everyone.
